Benign Parotid Tumors : An Experience in a General Surgical Unit

Abstract

Parotid tumors are mostly benign, but their evaluation and treatment require a thorough knowledge of the relevant anatomy and pathology. Surgical treatment of benign tumors is aimed at complete removal of the mass with facial nerve preservation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the post-operative complications of superficial parotidectomy in benign parotid tumors.
